Shallow-water waves are waves traveling in water where depth is less than one-twentieth the wavelength (D < 1/20 L). Shallow-water waves include wind-generated waves that have moved into shallow, nearshore areas, tsunamis (seismic waves) generated by disturbances in the ocean floor, and tide waves generated by the gravitational attraction of the sun and moon.

Cashmere harvesting is the process of harvesting cashmere from cashmere goats. This can be carried out using two different methods: the shearing method and the combing method. This is because cashmere production derives from a double fleece structure and the cashmere fibre is represented by the undercoat.

The tomato is the edible berry of the plant Solanum lycopersicum. They are consumed in diverse ways: raw or cooked, and in many dishes, sauces, salads, and drinks. While tomatoes are fruits—botanically classified as berries—they are commonly used culinarily as a vegetable ingredient or side dish. (Wikipedia, 2024. Tomato https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomato)

Indigenous Peoples’ fishing is an identity, cultural and spiritual activity that is passed down from generation to generation. It is based on Indigenous Peoples’ cosmogony and traditional food and knowledge systems related to aquatic ecosystems. It constitutes an important basis of the culture and livelihoods of Indigenous coastal and riverine Peoples around the world. (Adapted by FAO Indigenous Peoples Unit (2022) from Escobar Aucu, L.J. Publicación próxima. Pesca artesanal y resistencia social: reflexiones sobre el caso del manejo pesquero en los Humedales de Tarapoto. Revista Mundo Amazónico, Vol 14 Numero 1 (enero-junio 2023))
Note
Indigenous Peoples’ fishing encompasses pre- and post-harvest activities such as the making of traditional fishing gear and boats, the capture of fish and aquatic animals for household consumption and subsistence purposes, rituals and celebrations, as well as post-harvest activities related to preparation, use and consumption.
